Age: 14. L-lol Kitoh.
Height: Not given, but in comparison to other characters looks like he's about 5'4" or something. Shorter than your average guy, anyway.
Weight: Again, not given. He's pretty tiny.
Medical Info: Nothing of note.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black
Physical traits: DUDE LOOKS LIKE A LADY.
Which is to say, Norio looks extremely feminine! He has long hair, usually wears pretty feminine clothes (think capris, short shorts, and wide-necked t-shirts), wears earrings, and most characters stop to comment on how ~*beautiful*~ he is. In fact, he is initially mistaken for a girl by literally every person he meets in canon! Because of this, it would probably make sense for a lot of people in camp to think he's a girl when they first meet him, too. How fast people catch onto the fact that he isn't one varies - some notice immediately upon further inspection, some realize once he starts talking at length (he uses the masculine pronoun "boku"), and some don't find out until his shirt is off. Norio isn't actually transgender (at least not openly, but I'll essay on that later), but probably won't go out of his way to correct you if you mistake his gender. He figures most people will figure it out on their own after a few minutes at most...but it's not something he really feels like bringing up on his own, so if you mistake his gender he probably won't correct you unless he really needs to.
What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: No spoilers past volume 9, please. You can go ahead and tell him he's fictional in your world, though; that actually sounds like the kind of weirdness that would come up in a Mohiro Kitoh manga, so.
Abilities: On his own? None! Physically, he's pretty weak.
His killer Pokemon is another story! Norio controls a "shadow dragon" called Vagina Dentata, which:
- Can fly.
- Is equipped with some pretty heavy artillery. Specifically, it's shown using assault rifles and machine guns.
- Is really, really strong.
- Is nigh indestructible. You can KO it with enough firepower, but it's nearly impossible to kill.
As a final note! Norio is mentally linked to Vagina Dentata, meaning he can control it at all times no matter where he is and see whatever it sees. However, this also can be a bad thing! Whatever damage it takes, Norio feels it, too. Meaning if you knock out his shadow dragon, he's down for the count as well.
Notes for the Psychics: Again, Norio is perpetually mind-linked with Vagina Dentata, meaning anything Vagina Dentata sees or feels, he does, too. His mind is essentially in two places at once. So if you try and read Norio's mind, you might get a little more than you bargained for.
If you can get past that? He's a bundle of issues. Check out my gender identity essay once I get it done, and Tsurumaru is always in the forefront of his thoughts.
Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Sure.
Hugging/kissing/other non-violent physical contact: Go for it, but Norio most likely will not appreciate your advances. Especially if you're a girl.
Maim/Murder/Death: Whatever you want to do can't be worse than what canon already did? Still, ping me for maiming and I'm going to say no on death for now, simply because of what happens to dragon users after they die (though I could probably fudge that if I have to.)
Cooking: HAHAHAHAHAHA. No, not at all. The very most he can manage is instant meals.
